در سال ۱۹۴۳ هرژه این ایده رو داشت تا از طریق ایجاد جذابیت به کمک تن تن، بتونه علاقه به جانورشناسی، گیاه شناسی و حشره شناسی رو ترویج بده.

تن تن در این مجموعه نقاشی به عنوان یک علاقه مند به طبیعت معرفی میشه؛ گزارشگر جوان نه تنها اخبار رو گزارش میکنه، بلکه به علوم طبیعی نیز علاقه منده.

In 1943 Hergé had the idea to create a series of chromolithographs based on the principle of “learning by having fun”. The result was a mini-series of magnificent illustrations that are unique in the canon of Hergé's work. Tintin is presented as a nature-enthusiast – botany, zoology, entomology... not only does the young reporter report traditional news but he is also interested in natural science! The Tintin and the Goat facsimile taken from this series shows Tintin and Snowy pursued by a goat. Sold in a wooden frame and covered with glass (38 x 38 cm), the illustration is a faithful reproduction of the original drawing, which was created by Hergé on drawing paper using Indian ink, watercolour and pencil.
